Residence  /  Home   Priority   Lists

            Each one of you should “WRITE” out the following three lists, individually, without discussing them with one another.  Carry them with you throughout the day in your purse, wallet, attaché, etc., because one of the most important items will probably come to you at a time you are not even thinking about your home, i.e. rushing down the freeway at seventy miles per hour. That way, you can write it down without being concerned about forgetting it.  This will also leave your mind open to think of other preferences  &  ideas.

            Decide upon a day, two, three, four days away, at which time you will sit down together to discuss these lists.  Do not share your lists with one another until the agreed upon time.  At that time, take your three individual lists  &  merge them together, so that you then just have three lists, not six.  You will be amazed at the different items that may arise of which neither of you is aware.  Actually, this is rather fun! J

            Then, I will discuss those lists with you, ask you some questions  &  ‘tweak’ those, adding additional information to them, so I know very specifically what you are seeking in your home.

            These are the three lists to prepare:

             1.        Absolutely Must Have In Home - May only be one or two items.

             2.        Absolutely Will Not Tolerate In Home - Would not tolerate under any circumstances - Again, may only be one or two items.

             3.        Preferences Would Like To Have In Home.  This list will be longer.  After you complete this list, prioritize the items.  This is the one that will take you the longest to prepare.

            Prioritize each list by number until you have the top 5 to 10 (or whatever number) most important items on each list.  Then, at your agreed upon time, merge your lists & prioritize in the same manner.

     Have fun!  Then we will locate a “Dream Home!” for you !
